TORNADO WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1158 AM CST TUE NOV 18 2003
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BIRMINGHAM HAS ISSUED A
* TORNADO WARNING FOR...
WALKER COUNTY IN ALABAMA
FAYETTE COUNTY IN WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA
* UNTIL 1245 PM CST
* AT 1152 AM CST...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
TORNADO 9 MILES SOUTHWEST OF OAKMAN...MOVING EAST AROUND 40 MPH.
* LOCATIONS NEAR THE PATH OF THIS TORNADO INCLUDE...CORDOVA...DORA...
GOODSPRINGS...OAKMAN...PARRISH...SUMITON AND TUTWILER.
THIS STORM SHOWS STRONG ROTATION AND MAY PRODUCE A TORNADO AT ANY
TIME. DO NOT WAIT. GO TO A SAFE PLACE NOW! PUT AS MANY WALLS BETWEEN
YOU AND THE OUTSIDE AS POSSIBLE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's now 12:48. The line of thunderstorms that caused the above warning is moving out of Walker County into Jefferson County (Birmingham, AL). It's moving very fast. Oh, I live in Dora. That's near the border of Walker and Jefferson County.
As far as I know, everybody here is okay. We got very heavy rains and gusty winds for just a few minutes. There was a tornado in Tuscaloosa County that did touch down. There hasn't been any reports of injuries, but there has been some reports of damage.
It's raining here now. The wind is still up. I knew last night today would be a bad weather day. It hasn't been the worst weather day. I'm watching the weather coverage on ABC's 33/40. James Spann, our best weatherman, said, "This isn't like Nov. 10th." That's last year's outbreak. He went on to say even though it's not that, you still need to pay attention and that some of these storms could be bad. And believe me, I pay attention.
Well, it's after 1 now. Time to move on with the day.

From a Hole in the Sky
13 Stories of Horror, Madness, and Religion make up this dark-kudzu collection. A city run by angels with demanding burial rites. A white van jostling with clowns and warnings about sleep. A weeping pastor with a dead man in a boat. Homicide, Suicide, Jesus, and The Devil. To join a family, you're going to need some stitches. Kids today on their way to cut grass and play cowboys and injuns'. A hole in the ground where poor John Henry met a foul ending. And unholy birthing machines with a chosen one. All this and more. Where do bad things come from? They come FROM A HOLE IN THE SKY.
